ADINA CONNECT Edition 2023 (9.10.00.333) Win x64

ADINA CONNECT Edition 2023 (9.10.00.333) Release Notes - Date: March 2023

By default, if version 9.9 is already installed, the Windows installer will install version 9.10 adjacent to version 9.9. Version 9.9 should be uninstalled before installing version 9.10, if only a single installed version is desired.
Default number of threads and memory allocation
In version 9.10, for the solvers, the default number of threads used is equal to the number of physical cores on the computer. The default memory allocation for the AUI and the solvers is equal to half of the physical memory (RAM) on the computer.
e.g. If the computer has 6 physical cores and 32 GB memory, the command
adina9.10 ... (Linux)
adinas.exe ... (Windows)
will use 6 cores and 16 GB memory by default. Use the -t flag to specify a different number of cores and use the -mm flag to specify a different memory allocation. The Linux command
aui9.10 ...
will use 16 GB RAM by default. For AUI on Windows and Linux in interactive mode, the memory used in the last interactive session will be used. Use the -m flag to specify a different memory allocation.
This version also includes important bug fixes since verison 9.9 which was released in November 2022.

Civil, structural, and mechanical engineers chooseADINAsoftware for its authoritative veracity, including in analysis of buildings, bridges, stadiums, pressure vessels, dams, and tunnels. By virtue of the ADINA System's integral robustness across disciplines, materials, and simulation domains (structures, mechanical, fluids, thermal, electromagnetic, and multi-physics), engineers use it to perform comprehensive safety and performance studies where reliability and resilience are of critical importance. With infrastructure digital twins, users can simulate the complete behavior of structures to create confidence in designs that are much safer and more cost-effective than those merely analyzed to meet prescribed code standards. Of particular importance for infrastructure resilience, ADINA will also be applied within digital twins of existing infrastructure assets, now made practical by the Bentley iTwin platform, to simulate their responses and vulnerabilities to stresses so extreme that nonlinear effects must be considered-caused (for instance) by seismic, wind, flood, pressure, thermal, collision, or blast forces. The ADINA System's nonlinear simulation capabilities will in turn become directly accessible, through convenient technical and commercial integration, to users of Bentley Systems' uniquely comprehensive modeling and simulation software portfolio for infrastructure engineering. As the ADINA System's nonlinear extensions are introduced to complement these existing physical simulation applications-currently spanning STAAD, RAM, SACS, MOSES, AutoPIPE, PLAXIS, LEAP, RM, LARS, SPIDA, and PLS-the scope of mainstream simulation underlying the engineering of infrastructure resilience will be valuably enhanced. ADINA's advantages also include advanced dynamics, 3D solid FEM, buckling, substructuring, and advanced meshing for critical joints and sections.
Bentley Leverages ADINA for Structural Engineering
Recently, Seth Guthrie, Director of Structural Product Management, spoke with Informed Infrastructure podcast host Todd Danielson. Seth shared how leveraging the analytical power of ADINA software can help you perform more flexible analysis of your nonlinear systems.
The development of ADINA was started, and the foundation established, by Dr. K.J. Bathe in 1974. Soon thereafter, in 1975, Dr. K.J. Bathe joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1986, he foundedADINA R&D, Inc.for fostering the development of the ADINA system. He is a leading world-renowned researcher in the field of finite element analysis who has authored several textbooks and numerous journal papers. Dr. Bathe leads the development of the ADINA system.
Bentley Systemsis the infrastructure engineering software company. We provide innovative software to advance the world's infrastructure - sustaining both the global economy and environment.
Bentley Systems recently announced the acquisition ofADINA R&D, Inc.,developer of finite element analysis software applications. The addition of ADINA's technology to Bentley's software applications will further strengthen Bentley's structural software offerings. Users will gain even greater confidence in their structural software designs.
